Hear from Lisa this week about how Jesus instructs us to resolve conflicts!
If we love people (namely our brothers and sisters in Christ) then we will
confront them when we are hurt by them. Too often we let things harbor when
we shouldn't. The bible is very clear on this approach. We are
supposed to first talk to them one on one and if they don't listen then we
are to bring another with us and if they still don't listen then we are
supposed to remove ourselves from fellowship with them until they make
things right. If at any point they ask forgiveness then we are to forgive
them and not hold it over their head again.
If we truly grasp God's grace and forgiveness in our own lives-- that once we were wretched and
we are only good because of HIM-- then we can freely give grace and forgiveness to
others. Amazing Grace! Read through Matthew 18:15-to the end.
